Printle: A Printing Word Game from Metal Type


Dave Hughes

This new video, produced by the UK's Science Museum, tells the history of the Monotype Company and then goes on to the subject of preservation, and the Monotype Collection.

Towards the end of the video it is explained that the Monotype Collection has returned to the Science Museum following being loaned out to the Type Archive, and that the collection is now housed in "the national collection centre in Wiltshire."

I wonder if that means it is now stored in this ex-WWII aircraft hangar, as previously featured on Metal Type:


Wood Press, RAF Wroughton.


Enjoy this great, new, 18-minute video:
